[UUPoly-L] Dear Abby's take on poly

["Union Consult" <union-consult@charter.net>]

Should set the movement back at least a decade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old son is involved with a 22-year-old girl who is 
married. He has moved in with her, her husband and their 4-year-old son. He 
says he's happy with the arrangement.
I have tried to accept this even though I don't approve. I don't want to 
alienate my son, but I see no good coming from this lifestyle. Abby, please 
help. -- DISGUSTED MOM IN HENDERSON, NEV.

DEAR DISGUSTED MOM: You do not have to "accept" the arrangement, and as your 
son's mother you are entitled to tell him you don't approve and why. But he 
is over 21, and some lessons have to be learned the hard way. So remain calm 
and bide your time because, sooner or later, the husband's tolerance will 
wear thin or your son will realize that he deserves to rate higher than No.
